The volume buttons on your iPhone have more hidden functionalities than you might have thought. Users are going wild after discovering that these buttons can activate various tasks beyond simply changing the sound settings. These eight useful features include snapping photos, shooting videos, scanning documents, sending SOS messages, turning off alarms, blocking FaceID or Touch ID, troubleshooting when your iPhone freezes, and disabling volume buttons for specific apps.
To take pictures, users can open the Camera app and use either the volume button to capture images in portrait, traditional photo, or panorama modes when using the rear camera. In case of emergencies, an SOS message can be sent by holding down the power button and one of the volume buttons, instantly alerting emergency services and designated contacts.
